The Challenge
Teddie Peanut Butter, a fourth-generation family business distributing to 25+ countries, relied on a legacy system with paper-based quality and production management. The lack of real-time operations visibility and change management challenges limited the company's ability to scale for global distribution.
The Solution
Teddie implemented Plex MES and Plex ERP with workstations at all production lines, tablets for QC personnel, and smart scanners for material management. The deployment included employee pilot programs and comprehensive training.
Results
Increased data access and accuracy across all production operations. Improved performance management capabilities. Easy employee transition to digital workflows achieved through the phased pilot and training approach.
Key Takeaways
- Cloud-based MES/ERP systems enable small family-owned food manufacturers to operate with the data visibility of much larger competitors
- Providing QC teams with tablets and smart scanners eliminates paper-based quality processes while improving traceability for global distribution
- Employee pilot programs are essential to achieving change management success in family-owned manufacturing businesses
